I think this may be it. I think she also probably feels at least a little bit intimidated by all he knows and has seen, and maybe thinks there's no way that someone like that could fall for a London shopgirl. Also, alien. Who knows if his people even work that way? She probably thinks there's not a snowball's chance in hell of anything ever happening, so she's trying very hard to pretend she's not even aware of him that way.
Maybe that could be the case? Especially right after WWIII, which is where I'm trying to write this. This is pre-Dalek with the "woman you love" line (as well as releasing a *Dalek* into the world because he couldn't let Rose die again), at which point I think she'd definitely have a clue he was becoming a bit nuts about her.
But back in WWIII you really only had the mouth-drop in Unquiet Dead, the "so glad I met you" and "save the world but lose you" lines. The first two are...fluff. But that last one's a lot more intense. And you see this tiny shy whisper of a smile there with her. I think she's starting to get a clue. But maybe it was all still a bit too weird for her? And so maybe it's not so much she doesn't think the Doctor could fall for her (because it's seeming like he is) but rather she doesn't know if she wants to go there because it's WEIRD? Or...
*flails*
I just don't know what Rose is thinking right at that point in time!
Goddammit, I swear this is only about 5 lines worth of fic for all this.
